The conference HABSCS-ICBUAB 2015 aims at exploring new ideas and encouraging collaboration among experts and scientists from government, institutions, universities and industry in Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas so that emerging and useful technologies in algal biology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, applications and the prevention & management of HABs can be identified and exchanged. The conference will provide an invaluable opportunity for regional and local experts involved in related disciplines to exchange views on new research findings, knowledge and technologies. Local and regional participants will also exchange experiences and obtain new ideas from leading experts from overseas at the roundtable discussion, forum and keynote speech sessions. Through in-depth reviews of the previous and current situations and discussions on future research, conference participants will be able to gain better understanding of the current status of algal biomass studies and research directions in the near future.
